While I don’t have anything negative to say, I also don’t have anything overwhelmingly positive to say. The accommodations met our needs for the evening. The room looked clean but didn’t “feel” clean if that makes any sense. Overall, I wouldn’t seek this place out to stay another night but it was fine.

Not again

Arrived to people in the shadows of the parking lot and heavy smell of pot and like some crazy movie scene, the light overhead flickering. Room was not very clean, fingerprints and hair from the previous occupant. Front desk guy was nice. Gave us a room with a king. Went back to get the room we paid for, 2 queens.

Larger beds in the suites would have been better. If I'm paying for the largest room I should be able to have a King bed

Terrible

Dirty room, there were a pair of glue on eyelashes stuck to the shower wall. There were roaches and bugs. They keep the doors open before you check in with the AC off so it was extremely hot in there and the AC hardly worked, so we demanded a refund and left. It was in an unacceptable condition.

Disappointing

I was staying for two nights. Checked in very very late and got into my room. The electrical plugs next to the bed had been removed from the walls and there were cockroaches on the floor and the bed. I went back to the front desk and asked to change rooms, which they obliged. But the new room also has cockroaches, just not as many. The room was comfortable other than the roaches but no coffee maker.
